Short 3 night break in Berwick
After reading previous negative reviews ( having pre booked before they were there) we arrived with an open mind. We have a campervan so the slight incline wasn’t a problem. The Scottish male staff on duty was very friendly and helpful and advised us about the site. We checked what was available and chose a site at the far end ( like a cul de sac) with only 6 pitches and plenty of room. Yes the trains do run by and will be heard by all but they are past in a couple of seconds so not a problem, unless you want to spend all your time counting them! Every site will have a sea view or part of one. It’s a fantastic option day or night and esp when weather is good for Ariel view photos. We set up in pouring rain with forecast of better weather next few days. Toilet block is only a few minutes walk from the furthest point of the site. So not a problem. The toilet facilities are kept emaculate and there is a band system of entry as for every site. It does get busy first thing am. It’s 5-7 mins walk to a sandy beach so excellent for dog walking. When we were there, there were very few children and in my opinion it’s not really a family orientated site but it’s a good place to use as a base with your van to stay and to visit local tourist places with children. The walk into Berwick is about 20-30 mins depending on how fast you walk. Lots of places to eat and drink. We were there for the Euro final and so booked a table in the Brewers arms and there is cheap wholesome food there. Also the Milan Italian restaurant in Wooler has amazing food and I would recommend that, but you must pre book. There are plenty of walks around the Berwick. Also recommended Holy island, Bamburgh castle and sands, seahouses but prebook a boat trip if you want to see bird wild life and puffins. Nice quiet bay to sunbathe and swim or paddle board is Howick bay near Alnwick.
So yes I would definitely recommend Berwick and will deffo go back for longer time.
